Appendix A – Flight Instruction

The LOs in this appendix are intended to be used by an RAE(PC) when developing the simulated and practical training events of the appropriate course. It should be noted, however, that the LOs do not provide a ready-made flight training syllabus for individual RAE(PC)s and should not be seen by organisations as a substitute for thorough course design.

FLIGHT INSTRUCTION – RPC-L1

To be defined by the RAE(PC) through course design.
